You know that Holmgren couldn't help himself... but he does have the pieces to put together "substantial offer"Schenn or Coutorier would be the front pieces is my guess...Remember, they not long ago tendered him a offer sheet.

That's great news...That means they'll go into the play-offs with Mason/Emery. Same storyline with different characters. Atta boi Paul! Stay the course!

It's unbelievable really in that all these years this team has not addressed the goaltender issues... Failure after failure....If memory serves me right the last great goalie they had was Pelle Lindbergh? Before that Bernie... And they just resigned Mason ? Why not go after Halak? better than anything he has right now and all it would cost him is draft picks....

Hearing on the all sports radio today that there is an apparent deal in place to send Brodeur to the Wild.. Some are saying the deal is done but Marty needs to sign off on it... And Lou wants to start him one last time tonite....for what it's worth....

Tallon off and running.... Expect him to make a lot of moves by tomorrow...

After he claimed he wouldn't be dumping a ton of players.

"The eve of the trade deadline began Tuesday with most of the high-end rental players still in play. Thomas Vanek, Matt Moulson, Mike Cammalleri, Marian Gaborik and Ales Hemsky, all pending unrestricted free agent wingers, remained on the trade block, a departure in some ways from the past few years, when many of the rentals went days before the deadline.

Remember Brenden Morrow, Jarome Iginla and Jaromir Jagr all moved before the actual deadline day a year ago. There's a pretty simple answer to it all: As one NHL GM of a contender told ESPN.com Monday night, the prices needed to go down before he would consider any of those rentals.

Is this the year the buyers keep their sanity? Who knows, all it takes is one of those rentals to move Tuesday and the domino effect might take place."
